Few think of science, or of the technological skill and spirit, which would later hatch Sony, Toyota and a core part of the country's national identity. A late Edo Period erekiteru used to produce static electricity PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE NATIONAL SCIENCE MUSEUM For a long time, little attention was paid to scientific and technological developments during the Edo Period (1603-1867). The typical historical account of Japan's modernization went something like this: Scientific development stagnated under the rule of the Tokugawa due to the regime's isolationist policy, which prevented the introduction of scientific knowledge from the West. But after a ban on the imports of foreign books was lifted in 1720, rangaku ("Dutch learning") was spread across the country by young, ambitious scholars, so laying the groundwork for Japan's modernization after 1868's Meiji Restoration. Put simply, the history of Japan's science and technology has typically been presented as a history of the introduction of Western science. Similarly, Japan's rapid technological development after the emperor was restored has usually been attributed to its citizens' ability to throw off old and "biased" traditional values and absorb "advanced" Western knowledge.

low graphics version feedback help You are in: Sci/Tech Front Page World UK ... AudioVideo Friday, 19 November, 1999, 18:00 GMT Mathematicians crack big puzzle By BBC News Online Science Editor Dr David Whitehouse One of the most difficult problems in mathematics has finally been solved. It is called the Shimura-Taniyama-Weil (STW) conjecture, and it has baffled and defeated some of the greatest minds in maths over the last 40 years. Now an international team is claiming victory. "This is one of the crowning achievements of mathematics in the 20th Century," said number theorist Professor Henri Darmon of McGill University in Canada. The STW conjecture links two seemingly unrelated areas of mathematics: the theory of numbers and the theory of shapes or, as mathematicians prefer to call them, elliptic curves and modular forms. For decades, mathematicians have studied these subjects realising that there are deep connections between them but without ever being able to pin down the exact relationship. Andrew Wiles used the STW conjecture to provide the proof for the famous mathematical puzzle Fermat's Last Theorem. But before Wiles cracked the theorem in 1993, nobody even knew where to begin to tackle the STW conjecture.

Funny Stuff Home Occupational Funnies Mad Mathematicians Mad Mathematicians News Item (June 23) Mathematicians worldwide were excited and pleased today by the announcement that Princeton University professor Andrew Wiles had finally proved Fermat's Last Theorem, a 356-year-old problem said to be the most famous in the field. Yes, admittedly, there was rioting and vandalism last week during the celebration. A few bookstores had windows smashed and shelves stripped, and vacant lots glowed with burning piles of old dissertations. But overall we can feel relief that it was nothing- nothing- compared to the outbreak of exuberant thuggery that occurred in 1984 after Louis deBranges finally proved the Bieberbach Conjecture. "Math hooligans are the worst," said a Chicago Police Department spokesman. "But the city learned from the Bieberbach riots. We were ready for them this time." When word hit Wednesday that Fermat's Last Theorem had fallen, a massive show of force from law enforcement at universities all around the country headed off a repeat of the festive looting sprees that have become the traditional accompaniment to triumphant breakthroughs in higher mathematics. Mounted police throughout Hyde Park kept crowds of delirious wizards at the University of Chicago from tipping cars over on the midway as they first did in 1976 when Wolfgang Hakel and Kenneth Appel cracked the long-vexing Four-Color Problem. Incidents of textbook-throwing and citizens being pulled from their cars and humiliated with difficult story problems last week were described by the university's math department chairman Bob Zimmer as "isolated."

Professor of music David Huron from the University of Ohio believes that music may be an evolutional device, similar to straight walking and speech, and which allowed human beings to passed through the whole period of evolution (according to Darwin). He and his adherents stand up for the viewpoint based on music"s biological roots and state that music had appeared along with Homo sapiens long before people spread around the entire Earth, and it happened about 40 thousand years ago. According to the professor, this theory has been proved by archeological excavations.

Read This! The MAA Online book review column Science in Translation: Movements of Knowledge Through Cultures and Time by Scott L. Montgomery Reviewed by William R. Everdell The general subject of translation is fascinating enough to have generated a library's worth of essays, but on the restricted subject of scientific translation, this book by Scott Montgomery seems to stand alone on the shelf. A good thing, therefore, that it is so full of good things, both in the content and the prose. Arranged and written more topically than chronologically, it is more of an essay than a history, but it can be read both ways. Montgomery does his best, despite his wealth of specific examples and illustrations, to locate scientific translation, together with the science it has made possible, in the intellectual and cultural life of the whole planet. Ambition like that can throw a book's outline into a cocked hat, and readers may sometimes feel they have wandered off the map, or find matters in the conclusion that might have done better service in the introduction. This reader, for one, would have welcomed being told at the outset that

The following interview was published in the Japanese Mathematical Journal Sugaku in October, 1993. 120 minutes at the house of Professor Kenkichi Iwasawa Itaka, the chief editor of Sugaku , and Nakajima, an editor of Sugaku visited Professor Iwasawa's house at 2 PM on March 18th, 1993. It is located in a quiet residential area in Meguro, Tokyo. We also asked Fujisaki to visit with us. We talked with Professor Iwasawa about many topics. Iwasawa I was interested in group theory from the time when I was a student, and studied a book by Zassenhaus ( Gruppentheorie ) at our seminar with the help of Professors Suetsuna and Iyanaga. This was a very good book. At the same time, Topological groups by Pontryagin was translated from Russian into English, and published by Princeton University Press. After reading this book, I became interested in topological groups and started working on locally compact groups. I wrote a relatively long paper (long for me), and showed it to Professor Iyanaga, who sent it to Chevalley. Chevalley kindly wrote to me that I did very well, and also pointed out that some arguments were vague. I was very happy. This paper was published in the Annals of Mathematics in 1949. I think this was also possible with Chevalley's assistance.
